Astronomical clock in Prague

Astronomical clock

The Astronomical Clock in Prague is a highlight for anyone interested in history and science. It was built in 1410 and is the oldest, still functioning astronomical clock in the world. Every time the clock strikes the hour, it attracts visitors with its moving dial and impressive figures. The watch not only shows the time, but also provides important astronomical information, such as the position of the sun and moon and the constellations of the zodiac.

Another interesting detail is that the clock is part of the facade of the Old Town Hall, one of the most beautiful squares in Prague. While you're here, you can also visit the observation deck of the town hall to enjoy great views over the city. Visit the Astronomical Clock to learn more about medieval astronomy and witness the live spectacle of the hourly performance.
